[Q] Periodic vibration settings for unread?

does anyone know how to adjust settings on the Galaxy S2 so that it will vibrate after a period of time for unread text msgs, emails, missed calls and voicemail?
I cannot seem to locate how to do this?
I have tried NoLed - eats my battery power. Went to try BLC - says it won't work on my phone due to a kernal issue (no idea what this is) so I need something to give me a heads-up I have missed msgs or calls, etc.

For sms you can use a third party app like handcent or go.

But does that just work for text msgs or for voicemails, emails and missed calls also?

If you like the stock messaging app like me and prefer to keep using it you can download "SMS Popup" for free from the android market and disable the settings you don't want but it has the reminder settings your looking for with audible and vibrate reminders periodically for unread calls, texts, etc. Not sure if it works for emails.

No led can do it.

No Pulse/LED notifications for missed calls ?

Was wondering if I need to exchange my Galaxy Nexus to Verizon, I must have a defective phone, because when I miss phone calls, the LED/Pulse notification light never blinks.
Anyone else have this issue ?

I had some notification light issues, but after setting up the app Light Flow, all my notification issues are gone. Try to play with that app a little. If notifications still don't work, then you definitely have a bad phone.

Thanks, will try that app. I do get notifications for missed texts or voicemails, just not missed calls.

I flashed the mrom aosp jelly bean And my phone no longer vibrates for texts and emails when on vibrate mode, only phone calls. Anyone know how to fix it or what settings I need to look up?
Thanks

I just tested and I get vibration for SMS, I am using Handcent though, not sure if it makes a difference.

Go into the messaging app settings and change the vibration from "never" to "always"
on the email, the gmail app should automatically have the notification, but try going into the settings for that. see what you find.

go into gmail app settings click on your email and it'll bring up the settings for notifications, same with messaging its in settings. I was going crazy over the same thing as soon as i switched over until I'd read that JB changed how notifications act so now every app has to be coded to vibrate on its own as opposed to having a system wide setting.

well I like it better this way since in theory it lets you have more control over the vibrate notifications of a lot of apps. The only issue is that a lot of the apps have yet to be optimized for JB.

The messaging app provides these three options for when to vibrate:
- Always
- Only when silent
- Never
Are there any apps or hacks that could enable the following behavior?
- If I set the phone to vibrate (using side buttons), the phone vibrates when I get a text message.
- If I set the phone to silent, the phone doesn't vibrate when I get a text message.
The only two situations I care about are Silent and Vibrate. I never ever use a regular ringer.

screen turns on when getting a text

I hate hate hate hate this so much. It drains my battery since i receive a lot of text.
Any way to disable this without turning off notification all together or using a 3rd party app?

Go into messaging setting and uncheck where it said "show a preview of the message in the status bar"..

That is unchecked.
The items that are checked off are
Notifications and Spam settings.
I am going to try unchecking spam settings. Now i gotta wait to receive a text.

let me know if that workds 'cuz i hate my screen waking up as well

damn no luck. Was at a bar last night drinking and text myself from and to a S3.
Screen turns on everytime.
On another note that i may make a thread to ask if i can't get an answer. When you compose a email in the email client. Does the font increase? Is there a way to decrease it?

You can only turn off the screen wakeup if you use a SMS app like handcent or gosms pro. Not the ideal solution but it works. I hate using apps that duplicate functionality I already have, but had to in this case.

[Q] Cannot get rid of WhatsApp notifications

Hello,
an incoming new message shows up as a notification in the notification
drawer. When I am wiping it away I would assume to have marked it as
read. Yet after a while the same notification comes back meaning that
the message was not marked as read.
Is this a bug or can I somehow turn off this "feature"?
Regards

You must open the message for it to clear otherwise the message will still be um unread. I don't know how to mute notifications on android I know you can do it on iOS. Maybe they will add the mute feature in the future.

Thanks. Good to hear that at least it is not a problem of my device or ROM but of WhatsApp.
